Alright folks, the form to register is on the right. Here's some stuff y'all should know:

1. Everyone gets a spot. We draw for Sunday first, then for Saturday. If you want to play on Saturday, let us know.

2. You gotta have at least 3 traditional jug band instruments. If you don't know what 3 traditional jug band instruments are, you might not be in a jug band. If you need a refresher, click here.

3. No traditionally electrified instruments. Absolutely no electric guitars. If you show with and electric guitar, men with very large beards will give you menacing stares and you may want to watch your back. A pick up on an acoustic instrument is okay.
